Pineapple Fried Rice
Pineapple fried rice is of thai origin and it is one of the famous dish in many thai restaurants, the combination of sweet, caramelized pineapple with Thai spices. The savory taste blends well with the fruitiness of the pineapples and adding some cashew in the fried rice gives extra crunch!
When i first tested this recipe, it was so delicious and beautiful as they serve it in a pineapple bowl.
I love fried rice and this is one of my favorite and there’s quite a bit of variations out there but their are times that i crave for thai dishes and i don't feel like going out so i decided to make my own version of restaurant style pineapple fried rice and i want to share with you all.
If you want an extra kick on your fried rice feel free to add your favorite spices and seasonings like chili powder, cayenne pepper and sriracha hot sauce for a kick of heat. You can also use your favorite kind of protein – ham, chicken, or shrimp, or you can even keep it vegetarian with just the pineapple.
Although it takes a little effort, it is well worth the time. You got a perfect presentation of your pine apple fried rice instead of using plate and it adds a special touch to any brunch, lunch or dinner party spread.
